Primary Works
Muckraker & novelist Samuel Hopkins Adams [1871-1958] also published seven novels in 1924-35 under the pen name Warner Fabian, using the pseudonym because
the topics and content were considered risqué in those times; in addition to his several dozen books, Adams also wrote 415 short stories and articles.

During a White House luncheon, F.D.R. wondered how a wealthy man could disappear yet take his wealth along.
